Oceans of Ferocity

What are we?
Travellers caught in a life space - 
souls through eternity?

Who are we?
People? Beings? Animals?
Our true nature is hidden deep.
Would we recognise our true self
in the hour of need?

Why are we?
Coexisting with each other.
Conversations, friends, a civilised 
cup of tea?
Caged to the rule of law to maintain 
society?

What will happen?
When nature reveals a new form of 
human anarchy?

Do we seriously think that nature 
has no power over the human races
longevity 

Do we seriously think our future 
grass will get greener when history 
spells out humankind is built on 
sinister yet tailored savagery?

Do we feel?
Do we feel a cold wind gathering?
Do we trap the beast of nature for 
our selfish pitiful greed?

As natural as the water in the 
deepest sea, we are as natural as 
can be.
But this earth as seen it all before so, 
so many times indeed.

Do we see?
Do we see that in the big picture the 
life and history of humanity is nothing 
but a tear drop in nature’s ocean of 
ferocity?
